Kai came to fetch me after work last Friday. He got the car from Zi QIang as he was going to club. We went to Botak Jones at Ang Mo Kio.
When we reached there around 9pm it was already crowded. Kai ordered Cajun Chicken and i ordered FIsh & CHips. SIan this afternoon had western for lunch also. Despite the long queue I was informed by order would be ready in 20-30mins thats fast compared to eating Blackboard at Bedok where we waited 1h for SHIT SERVICE!
The service at blackboard was rude and slow especially that got 1 staff serving the food. The Cajun Chicken was very small compared to Botak Jones. We will never go there again.
Botak Jones however hired many staffs to deliver the food promptly and their service was much better. Their serving was large for small eater. Big pieces of meat companies by lots of fries. I don't like to eat fries so abit wasted.
Overall service 5/5
Food 4/5
Good food at a cheap price. Good for people who like fries also.
Cajun Chicken $7
Fish and Chip $6

Saturday went to watch movie "Shooter" at Cathy, as Zi QIang got 2 free tickets. Met Kai at Kallang Mrt before ZI Qiang came to pick us. We headed for Paragon first as he had to pay his HP bills. Later we had dinner at ThaiExpress, die broke liaoz.
Zi QIang ordered Pineapple rice , Chendol and Pad Thai( Thailand Char Kway Teow, tastes spicky with seafood and peanuts).While Kai ordered some Chilli Fish and I ordered Curry Softshell crab rice.Also don't know what to order as their menu did not indicate Chef's speciality. Our order came and I did not see the pineapple skin as indicated on the menu LOL. They tried my curry and commented it was good. It tastes like satay sauce thick but not peanut taste. Think it was a fusion dish of Japanese and Thai.
After dinner we went Cathy to purchase the tix. Wanted to watch Bean or TMNT but kai say it wasn't nice. Most of the shops in Cathy are still not opened. We were very lucky to get to watch the movie in room 1. The decor is very grand like a music house gold and red trimming. Been ages since i lasted watched a show. Fantastic 4 during one of the nights out. Cannot forgot my goddess Jessica Alba.
Overall Shooter was a nice shooter, but the ending was a damn spolier.
Rating 4/5
This movie shows how dirty the govt and police can be, as they backstabbed the lead character.
After the movie went 85 to eat and go back home as next day got play soccer with Jeremy.
Sunday morning packed my stuffs and met Jeremy who was my primary school friend. Last time secondary school used to go his grandma house to play game. After poly and army no time to contact. We chat on msn occasionally. I used to play with his friends when was in Poly LOL close to 5yrs back.
Reached his school and was surprised to see so many of their classmates playing around 10++. I was wondering how despite each other life they could, still find time to play soccer on a Sunday morning while others are still napping. Till now i don't have much contacts with my secondary school mates damn sad. I got so few friends
Been like few months since i kicked a ball. After work shifts most Sundays burnt. Damn fatigue cannot even last more than 30mins already wanna die. Didn't run much at the street soccer court but scored a goal and many shots at target LOL. The sun is killing me man so damn hot.
Soon later Andy came. Anday was also my primary school friend and neighour living on the same level with me. Last contact was like 10yrs back man. Think after primary school no contact already. Few years back me shifted and lived at Circuit Road. Was glad to see him not much changes except for his height almost reaching 1.9m while my height still remains at primary school. SAD. He signed as airforce technician so I guess life for him might be not bad. Hope i got more Sunday off so can play soccer and meet up with very old friends.
Qing Ming Feelings
As the famous Qing Ming Poems
Qingming in literature
Qingming was frequently mentioned in Chinese literature. Among these, the most famous one is probably Du Mu's poem (simply titled "Qingming"):
Traditional Chinese / Simplified Chinese / pinyin
清明時節雨紛紛 / 清明时节雨纷纷 / qīng míng shí jié yǔ fēn fēn
路上行人欲斷魂 / 路上行人欲断魂 / lù shàng xíng rén yù duàn hún
借問酒家何處有 / 借问酒家何处有 / jiè wèn jiǔ jiā hé chù yǒu
牧童遙指杏花村 / 牧童遥指杏花村 / mù tóng yáo zhǐ xìng huā cūn
English translation
A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day;
The mourner's heart is going to break on his way.
Where can a wineshop be found to drown his sad hours?
A cowherd points to a cot 'mid apricot flowers.

Today went with my Mum to Bright Hill to pray my father. Felt very guilty as i guess for 2yrs didn't pray him as i was in army. Its my duty as eldest child and son to continue practicing the tradition. The chinese is very particular about filial piety.
Treat a person well while alive.
Do not treat a person well while they are gone.
Whats the point of burning so much paper money, big cars .. for the dead, while when they are alive you can treat them better to make their life more meaningful. No doubt i admit the society is more cunning and cruel, seeing reports of people abandoning their parents in old folks home or treat them very unfairly. To me friends and spouse can be relaced but our own parents can never be replaced in our hearts.
It was a very hard time for me to accept the fact that my father left me when I was young. My mum struggled so hard to support this family. From my secondary, poly till army times. Now finally as an adult and now working, its my duty to give my mum the best in everything. I may not be earning big bucks, but i would not hesistate to splurge on my mum and sister for things they want. So now whenever i am free i would cherish the moments spent with them. Now i just hope that
1) My mum health improves and get better
2) My sister able to see
3) I can find a well paid job and eventually find success
4) Find a girl of my dreams
5) Good luck and good fortune befalls on my mum's sisters and brothers, others who supported us all this while. Their sincere kindness i can never repay back.
6) Maintain good frienship and also to find old and new friends i strongly believ this phase (At home you depend on your parents, outside you depend on your friends).
7) Curse and swear to those relatives who left us to dire situation yes i don't believe the shit (Blood is thicker than water, its tested and proven to be not working in this cunning and cruel society. YEAH FUCK YOU, YOU KNOW WHO ARE YOU!!!
Whenever i go out with my mum i would try to flag a taxi as she is too weak to walk and it reaches our destination fast. I also told her to just take taxi if she rushing for time or too tired to walk. After praying went to Junction 8 wah changed alot. Now cannot find kids playing Magic cards at the MRT station. They added another block where there are many eateries. As my mum like pork i recommended her to eat at Cafe Cartel. She ordered their speciality ST Louis pork ribs. The ribs were huge. After the meal she commented the food was nice. After that took train to Toa Payoh to fetch my sister from work. When she arrived at the interchange, I left for Cathy to meet Xiang Xin and Jimmy for movie.
Reached Doby Ghaut MRT wah sian raining but not very heavy. Ran towards Cathy. Looked at the ticketing office and no idea what show to watch. went the basement to wait for them while surfing their WiFi connection. Soon later Xiang Xin arrived as he took a taxi. While waoitng for Jimmy, Xiang XIn went to eat Ya Kun kaya toast and Shilin snacks, LOL so hungry. The Shilin snacks is no fight compared with Taiwan. The chicken meat in Taiwan is fantastic.
Jimmy called to tell us he was stuck as it was raining very heavily. We told him either go Plaza Singapura Hang Ten to rent an umbrella or take taxi. Soon later he came at 1910 where our show starts at 1905.
Watched Bean really as the rest say not very nice lor not funny. I think he cam-whore like to shoot video of himself.

Rating 2/5
Even his serials on TV is better
After the show went Plaza Sing as Jimmy wanted to get a leather belt. Eventually he bought a belt and shirt at Espirit. We later went the nearby coffeeshops at Paradiz for dinner. Ordered half chicken mixed roast and white and ordered a side dish. The side dish was fish mixed with you char kway which Jimmy ever tried before.
Rating 2/5
The chicken nothing special guess they prepared form morning till now.
Bill $18 for 3 people.
After that went to buy Rochor Soya bean milk and headed back home.
